Christmas never aroused much
enthusiasm in Scotland—but on New
Year’s eve the Wassail bowl goes
around, filled with savory liquid, nos-
talgically fragrant.
Floating atop the Wassail bowl,
apples stir memories of the “apple-
howling” when boys switched the
trunks of fruit trees petitioning “a
good howling crop”: somehow, the
“lamb’s wool” (as the decoction of
the Wassail bowl is often called)
seems reminiscent of young folks
rushing to the nearest spring at the
stroke of 12 to drink the “cream of
the well”—the first one so doing,
might expect good luck during the
ensuing year.
Handsel Monday—the Monday aft-
er New Year’s, is traditionally the
“big Day” for Scotch boys and girls:
and, in addition to being the Scotch
day of gift-giving, it is a day of
feasting and gaiety.
Small wonder, that families and
friends gather on New Year’s eve to
“Drink a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne.”
kamerap!
The year 1944 will soon be history.
We are happy to say that we formed
many new friendships during this
eventful year, and strengthened many
old ones.
To all of our friends, both new
and old, we extend most cordial New
Year wishes.

EUROPEAN NEEDS
REPORTED
The demands on productive re-
soucres to keep the world of the
United Nations going is pointed
out by the urgent pleas for every-
thing from horseshoe nails for Sic-
ily and fishing hooks for Greeks
to water pumping machinery for
the Neatberlands and raw cotton
for the mills of France to be made
into tent duck for allied forces.
These pleas are being laid before
the Central Relief Section for re-
lief and rehabilitation of the com-
bined production and resources
board and WPB’e ^combined raw
materials board.

Happy New Year
Traditional New Year’s
Gifts Were Sacred
The Druids distributed branches
of the sacred mistletoe, cut with
peculiar ceremonies, as New Year’s
gifts to the people and the Saxons
observed the day with gifts and fes-
tivals.
The Roman custom of taking gifts
to the emperor was introduced into
England as early as the time of
Henry III. Queen Elizabeth is sup-
posed to have supplied herself with
her jewels and wardrobe almost en-
tirely from these gifts.
As late as 1692 the English nobility
were accustomed every year to send
to the king a purse containing gold.
Under the Tudors and the Stuarts
it was the habit of all classes to
give presents to friends with the
best wishes for the New Year.
Ladies received presents of gloves
or pins which were then expensive.
Sometimes the gifts were wrapped
in money and from this practice we
have the term “pin money.”

Our hope and wish for you is that 1945

This charming young daughter of
a marine corporal is all set to wel-
come the advent of 1945. Judging
from her attentive look, she is wait-
ing only for the 12 o’clock whistles
heralding the arrival of the new
year.
Hope for Tomorrow
Whatever the past year
m&y have brought, we
all look forward hope-
fully to 1945 as a har-
binger of better days
to come.
It is our hope, too,
that in the New Year
we will be more than
neighbors . . . that we
will become better
neighbors.
Season’s greetings to
one and all.
President’s Reception
It has been the custom from the
beginning of the Republic for the
President of the United States to
welcome the New Year by holding
a reception open to the general pub-
lic.
On the first New Year’s day after »
his inauguration President Washing-
ton opened his home to receive the
people. Throughout the seven years
which Washington lived in Phila-
delphia as the capital of the nation,
Ha continued this custom.

PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR
Deer Lord, I ask Thee
For this Neat Year,
An extra gift of courage
My little trials to bear.
I ask not for success;
For wealth or fame or power;
I ask for added faith
To live life, hour by hour.
